Episode 152: Anime Binge Club Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode 7

In this episode of Anime Binge Club, Spencer and Kevin delve into personal introspection and the impact of self-help books, specifically “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” by Lindsay C. Gibson. Spencer shares his recent personal revelations and the validation he feels from the book, while Kevin reflects on his own patterns of behavior in relationships. The conversation also touches on the political climate and the nature of healing fantasies. Then we dive into episode seven of Neon Genesis Evangelion, discussing its slower pace, budget-conscious animation choices, and character development, particularly of Misato.
